How to Build a WordPress Website For Beginners

After reading the title of this article you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s going to be a bit on the long side – well it won’t!

That’s the beauty of the information I am sharing with you today – it’s simple, it’s newbie friendly and it’s FREE!

You don’t have to be educated and you don’t need an arsenal of tools. In fact you’ll only need the following:

Some sort of computer ( go figure! )

Access to the internet ( a coffee shop or McDonald’s will do! )

The ability to read

That’s it folks – that’s all you are going to need to make this work and take on the information superhighway!

Now lets get started…

Looking to Learn

So, we are all now fully aware that my first blog was a complete and utter joke – for the sake of my pride, let’s move on and never mention it again!

It became VERY apparent to me that I needed some sort of guidance to get my head around building up a decent blog.

I searched around a bit and found numerous online tutorials but they seemed to be missing something vital. Well, they seemed to be missing the ability to actually teach me something useful!

I don’t have the longest of attention spans and I’ll be honest here – I was losing faith fast…

Then I stumbled upon it!!!!

By ‘it’ I’m referring to the Wealthy Affiliate community – the safe haven that provided me with all the tools and tutorials needed to build up my very own dynamic website!

Now I’m not saying I was sold straight away because I wasn’t – the name ‘Wealthy Affiliate’ sounded a little bit shady to me and I wasn’t exactly rolling in the money at the time ( I couldn’t afford to be ripped off! ).

But the dudes that owned this community were actually offering a FREE starter membership that included two FREE websites!

Surely this was some sort of typo?

Nope – it was all legit!

To cut a long story short, I was provided with a free education and all the tools needed to build a dynamic looking blog and I was up and running within 24 hours!

All this and I didn’t have to pay a penny!

Fast Forward Several Years…

Well, that was then and this is now – thanks to the education and support offered by the Wealthy Affiliate community I now run three websites ( including this one! ) and I work online full time.

I’m sitting here writing this article at a makeshift desk in my nine year old son’s bedroom – it’s essentially my office for the day!

I generally walk around the house with my laptop in hand and find a room that’s quiet. I sit down, flip open the lid and start typing – I have no real office as such!

Now if I can do this anyone can – I’m not what you’d call the sharpest tool in the box 🙂

All you need is a little bit of self belief and the willingness to learn – the rest will take care of itself.

So what’s the next step?

Well, remember those two FREE websites I promised you? Why don’t you pick a name for one and enter it below…

Initially I used to think building a website is very tedious task and requires lot of knowledge and is impossible to make even with the help of wordpress, but when I got into Wealty Affiliate all my concerns were vanished and I learnt everything required to know about building and scaling up website. Thanks for sharing such a valuable information and it will help many people for sure.

Hi Kunal,
So have you tried out Wealthy Affiliate’s SiteRubix option yet? I hope you’re taking advantage of it’s awesome website building parameters 🙂
Nice to hear from someone who is seeing some sort of success through the education offered at the WA. Don’t forget to pop back if you need any help with anything!

I remember back in the days when I first set out with making money online, building a website was an impossible task, so I just stuck with promoting affiliate products using other online business building methods instead.

Today, I love the fact how the owners of Wealthy Affiliate have created the SiteRubix website builder to remove the difficulties associated with building websites.

Most people have a fear of starting anything new they have no clue about and building a website is one of those things though it’s really not that hard at all. Times when you needed to know html and understand its code, CSS or Javascript have passed and in modern age you can take advantage of tools such as wordpress and build your site within minutes of not seconds. The tool you are recommending here is really one of the best options that I know. Definitely recommended.

I like the information on your site, but at times it seems too good to be true. Once I have my free website set up how do I earn from it??
DO I need to have my own domain??
How do I get organic traffic to my site and how does a website set up from scratch do all this??
Please help 🙂

Hello, Chris,
It was a pleasure for me to visit your website today. You give a lot of valuable information on the best way to make money with Affiliate Marketing.
Most people fail because they set goals that are too high and not easy to accomplish. The 12 goals you give in the list are goals that should be considered prior to signing up for training.
All of these goals can be accomplished when they enroll in Wealthy Affiliate at zero cost as a Starter Member.
Your Review on Jaaxy Keyword Tool is information they need to be able to write keyword enriched content. They will get the training to do this by joining Wealthy Affiliate.
I have bookmarked your site, Chris. I plan to come back and learn more about what you have to say. You have done a great job putting this site together. Take care, Chris.

Hey Chris, unlike you when I decided to start my online business I was familiar with website building and hosting through godaddy and was relatively confident on that aspect. I have had zero troubles with building out content or my website or structuring my site. I find that I have the most trouble understanding SEO than anything else but through the live chat option of WA I have been able to get instant help and support when I felt all hope was lost. WA’s platform is amazing and I truly feel blessed to have come to it without purchasing 100 gimics first. I will keep in touch and it’s good to know that you are experienced and thriving! Stay Blessed!!

Great and comprehensive article on how to build a quick website. A lot of good information you got going on here. I’ve been interested in building my own website for a while but I’m kinda lost on how to do it. As you seem to be an expert on this field, do you have a recommended guide how to start my very first website as I have absolutely no experience with all this internet stuff. Hope to hear from you soon!

yes! I love it! Like another page i was looking at earlier, it takes literally a few seconds to make a new site these days, you might as well take advantage of it!
I think wealthy affiliate and siterubix as a team work perfect because you can build and learn to grow your website as you make it! somethhing only they can really offer!
